Podcast Explains The Rolling Admissions College Application Procedure

March 15, 2010 - PRLog -- Rolling Admissions means that a college imposes no strict deadline for application submission; and applicants will be accepted so long as space is available within the freshman class.  The positives and negatives of this procedure are addressed in Top-Tier Tutoring’s latest podcast entitled “About Rolling Admissions.”  To listen to the podcast, go to www.bit.ly/bNDziG.

In this podcast, co-founder, tutor and college counselor Mike Rivera of Top-Tier Tutoring explains the Rolling Admissions procedure, which is employed by a minority of colleges.  One benefit to this process is that a decision is rendered within a few weeks of a student’s applying as opposed to the typical two month wait for regular admissions.  Another benefit is the application window is open long after other colleges have made their notifications, and if a student is not accepted, a rolling admissions college may provide an excellent opportunity.  On the other hand, some Rolling Admissions colleges may require a timely decision by the candidate once accepted, which may be prior to the regular admissions deadline, so prudence must be exercised with regard to the timeline.

“Rolling admissions is a great method to ensure that a student will attend college,” explains Rivera.  He continues:  “If a Rolling Admissions college is a student’s first choice, by applying early the student may be accepted quickly and then be first in line for housing and/or financial aid.  One note of caution is to make sure a student does not have to agree to attend the Rolling Admissions college prior to receiving notice from other regular admissions colleges in which s/he may have a greater interest.  This podcast goes into great detail about Rolling Admissions so a student will be armed with pertinent information when applying.”
